I haven’t had mine crack on my ‘18 yet, but I’ve had two bad chips repaired.

My two cents is that the windshield has been the same since ‘10 so the aftermarket worked out all the bugs years ago and pretty much any glass shop should have one in stock given the popularity of T4Rs.

Even when you take it to the dealer. They usually have a glass guy come to do the labour and the dealer carts over the glass to them.

It all depends on which biz entity you want to deal with and which one services the warranty if there is an issue.

My concern is usage of oem parts. Glass and trim/seals. If they outsource the labor let it be. I have read that people had issues with aftermarket seals leaking and not looking right

There is no Toyota seal that makes the glass to chassis waterproof. It is the tube of sealant that is applied to the chassis and the glass is set a top.

A good glass install will:
1.) cut the old sealant carefully and ensure they don’t nick the paint. Old cars have a pillar or roof rust because an old windshield was replaced and was not done carefully.
2.) installer cleans the old sealant of
3.) they disconnect the wiring for heated glass or antennae carefully
4.) installer uses the correct sealant as specified in the factory service manual
5.) installer makes sure to 100pct get enough coverage and spread of the sealant then places the glass on
6.) they reattach all the electrical if applicable
7.) they transfer over your dash cam and roll transponders with new 3M stick tape

So they reuse 56111 and 56117D ?

the molding needs to be replaced for us. I've never actually replaced my own windshield for a 4runner. I did replace my own for my 1989 Mazda Rx7 years and years ago. The molding for the rx7 was actually screwed in to the a-pillar where the a-pillar had plastic inserts. The glass did not use an embeded U-channel molding like 4runners.

I found a youtube video for a Tundra. I would think it's not too far off from a 4runner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0jC5B39jHQ
